LEON PERCIVAL, II, Plaintiff, v. DANIEL RICHARDSON, et al., Defendants.
ORDER (1) VACATING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (ECF No. 8) AND (2) DISMISSING COMPLAINT (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On January 21, 2021, Plaintiff Leon Percival, II filed this pro se civil-rights action against the Defendants. (See Compl., ECF No. 1.) Percival alleges, among other things, that the Defendants subjected him to excessive force and unlawfully arrested him. (See id.)
On June 28, 2021, the Court ordered Percival to complete and present to the Clerk's Office copies of the Complaint and summonses for each Defendant so that the United States Marshal could serve the Complaint on the Defendants. (See Orders, ECF Nos. 6, 7.) Percival failed to comply with those orders. Accordingly, on February 15, 2022, the Court issued an order to show cause that required Percival to show cause, in writing, by no later than March 15, 2022, “why [his] case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute” (the “Show Cause Order”). (See Show Cause Order, ECF No. 8.)
Percival has failed to respond to the Show Cause Order. Nor has he complied with the Court's earlier orders to present the required documents to the Clerk of the Court for processing. Finally, Percival has not contacted the Court to ask for additional time to respond to the Court's orders. Accordingly, because Percival has failed to comply with the Court's orders, and has failed to prosecute his case, the Court (1) VACATES the Show Cause Order (ECF No. 8) and (2) DISMISSES Percival's Complaint (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See E.D. Mich. Local Rule 41.2.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
